CPU Mark-i7 VS Core 2 Duo

[mong]

Hey,I did a performance test of version 6.0 for i7 and Core 2 Duo.By right,i7 should have better performance than Core 2 Duo isn't it(including CPU performance),but I'm had a results that shows i7 got a lower CPU performance than Core 2 Duo.What can the cause be?Could it be the settings are wrong?

Hi Mong,

V6 is a pretty old release now. It was made before the i7 was even available.

Can you upgrade to the current V7 release and give it a try.

Hi,I can't just upgrade it like that due to some reasons.Its not mine.If just by looking at the version 6.0,are you saying its DEFINITELY not possible for it to check the performance of i7 fully?Or there's a way to do it by changing the settings?

V6.0 was from the year 2005.
We never ran V6.0 with an i7 CPU. So don't know the behavior.
I suggest you upgrade for V7 rather than waste your time with the old software.
